Work at Macca Gene Organic Creamery

We make small-batch, USDA Organic yogurt and sour cream on a working dairy farm in Hawley, Massachusetts. Our milk comes from pastured cows, and we pasteurize every drop on site. Our products go to grocery stores, farm stands and distributors across New England.

We are a small crew, and every person on it matters. We look for people who show up, pay attention and take pride in doing the job right.

Production Assistant / Machine Operator

Hawley, MA · $23.00 per hour · 32 to 40 hours per week

The Production Assistant / Machine Operator makes, packs and stores USDA Organic yogurt and sour cream on make days. You will receive raw milk, run processing and filling equipment, and pack, label and box finished product. You will also keep production and sanitation records and clean and sanitize the production room. On non-production days, you will box finished product, manage inventory, and perform upkeep and maintenance around the creamery. You are one of a small crew, so you will learn every part of the operation. No experience is required, and full training is provided.

Production starts at 5:30 a.m., and shifts on production days are 10 hours. The creamery is on a rural farm, so reliable transportation is a must.
